Actually Facebook supports vcards, and every account has a read-only one with 
their name already in it (kind of like what Google Talk does).  The problem 
with Psi seems to be that Facebook doesn't like the way the vcard request is 
performed.  Specifically, Psi uses some undocumented XML attributes in the 
request.

Since these attributes are pointless anyway, I've removed them for 0.15 and 
Facebook now works for me without any nags.

I think they are being overly restrictive though.  Typically you're supposed 
to just ignore XML you don't understand.  So it would be nice if they would 
solve this on their end too, to fix interop with existing Psi versions...
